Hello,

I'm using FreeBSD 8.0-current

I use a Sun Type 7 keyboard and trying to use xorg-7.4 with hal,
I need some sun symbols to use kbd special keys on xorg, so,
i've added this keyboard.fdi file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
       <device>
               <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keyboard">
               <match key="info.product" contains="Type 7 USB Keyboard">
                       <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">kbd</merge>
                       <merge key="input.x11_options.XkbSymbols"
type="string">pc(pc105)+sun_vndr/usb(sun_usb)+pc(pc105)+us(intl)</merge>
               </match>
               </match>
       </device>
</deviceinfo>

and it seems to work since hal-device list this:

17: udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_430_a2_noserial_if0'
 usb_device.device_class = 0  (0x0)  (int)

 usb_device.configuration_value = 1  (0x1)  (int)

I've added the same fdi for "AT Keyboard", when I start X i got this:

It seems to ignore XkbSymols I've added on hal.

I found a workaround that was add following line to .xinitrc:

/usr/local/bin/setxkbmap -rules xorg -symbols
"pc(pc105)+sun_vndr/usb(sun_usb)+pc(pc105)+us(intl)" &

Using this Sun special keys work fine on my session, but I believe it's
not the correct way to have things working, am I doing something
wrong?

Thank you in advance
